Two GeForce 8600 GT SLI with 512 MB ram and Linux (Toshiba Satellite x200-21g)

[mastro]

Solved by upgrading drivers.

--

This laptop (x200-21g) can't use the SLI
the x200 series has another name (in USA i think) x205
and i don't know if some model of the x205 series correspond to the 21g..
anyway here an extract from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and the attachment are: the nvidia-bug-report-log and the log X log with
logverbose 6
(as you see there's another little problem with the driver not relaxing
the Vertical Frequencies of the Monitor and those dropping some
resolution. I'm think i can work around this by following this:
